Park status updates for Colorado

With the disarray of Keystone's park (at least jumps), I think we're due a thread that gives people updates on how parks are coming along. I've only been out once to Breck this year so I'm sure a lot more people are more in the know, but let's just keep this thread on park updates on the various resorts until they are all fully open.

I'll start with the most obvious: Park Lane at Breck is basically fully open. Jumps and rails are up. Only thing I remember last year that isn't up right now is that roller or whatnot they had at the end. They might not put it in this year anyways

I know A51 at Keystone apparently has a bunch of rails up but they are closing down the big jump line for maintenance. None of the small-medium features are up.

Anybody ski other places like Beaver Creek and Vail, etc? I really enjoy taking the extra drive to go to BC to avoid the crowds.

I don't mean it to just be epic pass resorts because I know there are plenty of others, so +k to keep us posted

Beaver Creek has the two parks up (Park 101 which is like a mini park) and zoom room which is small. No clue as to the Rodeo when it will open

Haven't heard anything about Vail, but found webcam. Looks like they have nothing up at least in the main park but they're working on it

Breck is the usual... Park Lane, Freeway is up but they're doing stuff on it? No idea about the small parks Bonanza and Trygves

Taco factory at Keystone, big jump line is up but..??

I heard Winter Park doesn't really have anything up right now, could be wrong I don't ski there but word of mouth.

Anyone been to Copper since the Grand Prix? I know they opened the park and I've seen a picture or two, but I'm curious to hear what you think...

Looks like Park Lane will be fully open soon, hopefully by next weekend. All 3 jumps were shaped and pretty much done yesterday - crew was testing and they looked pretty spot on...just need to put in all the rails and then groom it.

Park Lane has seemed pretty solid for like the past month I believe...? Do they have that roller or whatnot at the end like they did last year? The jumps have been up for a while, and all their boxes and rails have been up for a while I think they even changed it up recently.

Beaver Creek just has the small park open, but it has like 6 jumps so even though they are tiny and the landing is nothing it's still nice to dick around with. Mounds of snow were formed for the Rodeo but they were still blowing, shouldn't be too long. Same with Vail, some tiny stuff but big park can't be too far behind.

Wow, I can't believe Vail still doesn't have their terrain park open. What a piece of shit mountain.

Their big park? They had some rails and boxes in the smaller parks near the gondola earlier this week, and snow mounds for jumps, so those are good to go. But is the big park open now too? might be worth checking out tomorrow
